Highly recommended biopic about Janis Joplin. Through the years, I have come to appreciate Janis, especially from my ex-wife, Ellie and stepdaughter, Cassie.
It is amazing how I know all of her songs as they unfold in the movie and I knew that her life was quite troubled but the true pain is revealed in the flick.
Seeing all the faces of her band members, friends and relatives it appears evident that Janis just could not ever grow old; her work had to be that of a young person and probably would not have translated well into middle and old age.
Like Amy Winehouse, the lack of real love or perhaps the need for a love that just does not exist in our corporeal world, in the end, was the downfall for both Janis and Amy.
R.I.P. oh great women singers...
